e-Prosume
Italian energy aggregator Evolvere has allied with Prosume in an unprecedented partnership between a leader in the distributed generation sector and a blockchain solutions provider.
Managing around 12,000 PV plants, Evolvere’s large network is significant: it will be the first time an aggregator has shook on a blockchain development plan, making e-Prosume the first project of its kind and proportions.
Aimed at bringing the blockchain into smart homes, the joint venture’s first plan of action is to integrate Mangrovia’s blockchain software with EUGENIO, a smart home gateway.
Through an app on a device, e-Prosume allows homeowners to manage various aspects of their everyday lives: energy savings, safety, comfort and smart payments, in a wholesale upgrade of the definition of ‘smart living’.
Integrated and installed into homes (within a year) would be some of the first 2.000 smart home devices in the world that would represent the nodes on an energy blockchain network.
Through a customised cloud platform, this integration enables production/consumption and pricing data collection, progressing the liberalisation of the local energy market and evolving its smart grids.
